Additional details
It was on our bucket list to do the whole of the Panama Canal,
Fort Lauderdale:- Embarkation, arrived the day before, and thankful we did, the flight from Toronto to Fort Lauderdale, which should take 5 hours inc., airport time, took 15 hours, due to malfunction of a A/C button,
Embarkation was a breeze, best ever from 17 cruises with 6 different cruise lines. Arrived at 11am, checked in, on board and lunch with-in 1/2 hour.

Cabin Review
Balcony
We had a balcony, usually we pick an inside, but splurged for our 60th anniversary.
Clean, spacious with plenty of closet space and hangers. The only negative thing was the shower, it was small, we’re 135 and 150 pounds, and we had problems. The cabin steward very friendly, would do anything for you. We found the comforter was too hot for us, next day there was a light weight blanket on our bed. The beds comfy.
My husband has a disc problem and used a walker at times, the door way was a bit of a problem at times, we had about an inch to spare on both sides. Also had problems in the passage way, when the stewards had their carts out side.

Took a taxi to the beach area and walked along the boardwalk,
Santa Barbara
A very nice small town, clean, Took the free shuttle up the Main Street, to the museum, then did some shopping, caught the shuttle back to the ship.
Astoria, Oregon
A small sea side town, There’s a shuttle bus, from the port, to take you around the town, we got off at the marine museum, well worth the money to see it. Shuttled back to the ship
